did you ever find the Queen??? That looked like a BOOMING hive goin on there too! Trully beasutiful to see all that brood and larva you were pulling out.
I see we're neighbors too!!
Yeah....these afternoon showers are a bummer. Weatherman says we've had a foot and some inches of rain so far this month!
Thanks for commenting, Santa Caras.
Yes, such a beautiful and healthy hive.
I didn't see the queen because I didn't have a chance to look for her yet - especially because the rain threw me for a curve. I had to leave out-of-town to work for a couple of days, but will be back tomorrow and I will look for her. She may have been in the vacuum bucket as I assumed in the video. And even if they don't have a queen, they have plenty of supplies to build one.

. But I may consider re-queening anyhow. They were a bit hot for my tastes......especially for my back yard. I will have to move them down to my remote location if they don't become nicer and/or if they hate the lawn mower.
The lady still wants me to remove her other colony that's just a few feet away. I'm going to have to build a couple of more removal hives to be ready though.
Yeah, the rain was ridiculous. It usually doesn't rain that much and for that long.
Good to see you are in Lakeland also !!!
